First, policy enforcement before hiring ensures each agent passes spending rules including price within budget, trust score above threshold, and wallet validity. Second, mandate-bounded credit lines give operators execution rights but not custody, with every cycle publishing a recomputable receipt and any third party able to pause the vault and slash the bond. Third, sponsors can reserve USDC capacity for agents, who sign bounded spend intents while the contract pays approved providers from the reserve and blocks oversized requests before funds move.

Hand over a private key and the operator runs everything. Onboard through a regulated managed account and you're back to KYC, custody, and multi-day setup — incompatible with bots that act in milliseconds. Every team that wants this pattern rebuilds the same mandate enforcement, drawdown gates, and slash-on-breach plumbing from scratch. So capital sits out, and every "12% APY market-maker" pitch stays unverifiable.
